Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Curry Nochi Rice
Curry Nochi Rice is probably my favorite of the three new K-ON insert songs on the HO-KAGO Tea Time CD if just for the cuteness of Yui singing about curry. English translation included as always. Lyrics for the other two songs, Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss and Fudepen ~Ballpen~, will be ready in just a …

Kanon Final Patch Released
Today non-directional translations released their final patch for Kanon in honor of Key’s anniversary. Although Kanon has been fully playable for a while this patch addresses typos, things that could use explaining and malformed sentences. The patch is compatible with both the standard edition of Kanon (18+) as well as the all ages version. I’ve …

Lyrics: Taishou Yakyuu Musume. OP Romantic Strike
I actually haven’t gotten around to watching Taishou Yakyuu Musume yet but I decided to do these lyrics anyway. I’ll get around to watching it after my schedule clears up. I’ll work on K-ON! Insert songs later but right now I seriously need sleep.

…And Suddenly I Love Akizuki Ryo
While looking for an iDOLM@STER image for my wallpaper I came across a bunch of new pictures featuring Dearly Stars idol Akizuki Ryo in strange situations such as her shaving and being at a pool topless in a pair of swimming trunks. Wondering if there was some new information that became meme fodder within the …

Umineko no Naku Koro ni “San” Episode 5
A bunch of online sites have started to take preorders for 07th Expansion’s newest entry in the Umineko franchise, Episode 5 End of the Golden Witch, and there are a few interesting things to note. Unlike Higurashi which used “kai” (解, answer/solution) to differentiate its second half, Umineko will be using San (散. scatter) instead. …

Lyrics: Umineko no Naku Koro ni OP Katayoku no Tori by Shikata Akiko (TV Size)
I don’t normally do TV size lyrics but considering that I’ve been on a 07th Expansion translation frenzy lately, I decided I might as well. The reason I don’t usually do TV size cuts is because I can’t guarantee the same accuracy from listening and transcribing as I can from looking at lyrics booklets. Anyway …

Lyrics: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei ED Manazashi by anNina
Another wonderful Higurashi no Naku Koro ni song by anNina. I just love how the lyrics describe Rika’s feelings of committing sin during Saikoroshi-hen. Being the 07th Expansion fan that I am I have translated this set of lyrics in addition to the usual transliteration. Please enjoy.

Lyrics: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei OP Super scription of data by Shimamiya Eiko
Finally the opening single I have been waiting for the most has come out! Super scription of data is a brilliant song and the lyrics match so well with Rika’s story that I obviously HAD to transliterate and translate it. I also included two translator’s notes at the end. I can’t wait for the last …
